What is it About Cowboy Boots?

There is something about Cowboy Boots. I’ve asked this a couple of times in the last two or three days. It is amazing how putting on my cowboy boots can nearly instantly make me feel better. No lie.

I have trouble with my feet and I sometimes have trouble with my back. I did some things last weekend that kind of upset both the feet and the back. My back hurt from my left ear to half way down my left buttocks. I was plenty uncomfortable and miserable into Tuesday. I have often said that my cowboy boots were/are the most comfortable pair of shoes I own. So my mother says to me,

‘why don’t you wear them then?’ Ok, I give. I put them on and within moments I was feeling better. I know this is what will happen. I can’t believe I don’t remember this. Even the foot doc said that if they feel good I should wear them. 

There is something about cowboy boots that when you step into a pair that is right for you, you know it instantly. They feel so good that yoyu almost swoon. It’s when the heel is just the right height and the box of it is just the right width and they feel and look ‘RIGHT’. I don’t think I’ve ever wore another type of shoe that I had that feeling about. No pair of walking shoes or tennis shoes, or even my beloved Crocs, has given me quite the feeling of pleasure on my feet. 

I’ve worn my boots for two days now and my back pain is nearly gone completely. My feet, though tired this morning and a bit sensitive where feeling much better by the end of the day. I’ve had these boots for about five or six years. I’ve had to have them resoled once as I wore them so much I wore a hole in the bottom. I’m needing to have the heels done again. I really wear my boots. I remember not too long after I got them, I’d been wearing them all day and doing a lot of walking on concrete and then I went to the gym and as I walked to my car in my tennis shoes I realized how hard it had become to walk in my bouncy tennis shoes. I love my boots. And anyone else that I have spoken to who have a pair of cowboy boots feel the same way.

There is something about the way cowboy boots are made, fit, something that they are just the most comfortable things to wear on the feet. 

I spent a lot of time in my youth in the Midwest. I remember my father and grandfather having cowboy boots. In fact, they had two pair. Or at least my father did. They worked in plumbing and air conditioning. He had a pair of boots he wore to work and a pair of boots for dress-up. 

Now, with needing to have the heels on my boots done I thought, I need to get another pair. I don’t want to be out of boots for however long it might take for the cobbler to do the heels.  Thus, this evening I found myself making my way to Shepler’s. I walk in, in my boots that need new heels, their black by the way, and I start trying to find the right boot for me. I start with what is usually me shoe size. And then went up. I found a pair that, when I put them on, I felt that pleasure that comes with knowing you had found your glass slipper, i just nearly to swooned. I looked at a few other pairs. Some looked really cool and none gave me anything close to the same feeling. And so I bought a new pair of boots. I now have a pair of black Laredos and a pair of brown Justins. (That’s for those of you who know something about shoes and or boots.) I can now get the heels done on my one pair and I have that required pair of black shoes and pair of brown shoes, only their boots.

What is it about Cowboy Boots? I don’t know for sure, I only know that they are the greatest footwear there is. I love my cowboy boots.

 

Cheers
